Job summary

This is an opportunity to join the energetic, innovative complex discharge team. It is an exciting time for complex discharge with many new pathways and initiatives being introduced with partnerships with external agencies being forged by the complex team.

You will provide clinical expertise to support safe, effective and timely discharge working directly with internal and external multidisciplinary teams as required.

The role will coordinate the NHS CHC process including carrying out nursing assessments ensuring that the Care Domains within the national framework for NHS continuing healthcare are applied against each continuing healthcare assessment and a detailed rationale given for each decision made.

To provide specialist advice with respect to NHS EOL FastTrack Continuing Healthcare, to patients, health and social care professionals and other agencies. To provide support and challenge to ward pressures to ensure high quality individualised discharge planning for patients and relatives/carers and to contribute to the continuing improvement and development of discharge processes and care pathways.
